A/N: Another chapter, what jolly, jolly fun. Anyway, judging by the mindless rubbish in my author notes I don't know what I'm talking about so on with show…

Disclaimer: I own Harry Potter, or to be more precise I own copies of the Harry Potter books and a Gryffindor scarf.

Chapter 6: Another Letter

Dear Sirius,

I hope this letter finds you well. How unfortunate that you had to decline my offer but the Malfoy's are a prestigious family, I know you'll have fun.

The Wasps match is on the 5th August and of course Severus would be welcome. He will be a valuable addition to our group (for I have invited some of my other friends) and if he joins us we will be able to have some fun that I am sure would not otherwise be possible. If you both take floo powder to my house on the morning of the 5th my parents have organised a portkey.

I have enclosed an early birthday present as you undoubtedly left too quickly to remember one in which to admire your hair.

From James

Sirius read quickly over his friend's letter, smiling slightly at the coded jokes, then he unwrapped the gift James had sent him.

Out fell a heavy silver mirror which Sirius recognised instantly. It was one of the two way mirror set that they used when they were in separate detentions. The note enclosed with it read, You are the only one who will use this. His father had probably thought that this was in reference to his vanity concerning his hair but Sirius knew better. The note was telling him that James wouldn't activate his mirror, he had to.

He lay down on the bed. The door was ajar but there was no one on this corridor except him. He opened his mouth, desperate to see his best friend, but at that moment a gong sounded. Dinner.

Sirius cursed. He wasn't hungry but it was more than his life was worth to be late, so standing he stomped down the hall towards the dining room, leaving the mirror lying on his bed.

A/N: I think that these chapters are getting shorter. The next one's nice and long though and is that a plot I can see on the horizon?
